1. Learning Objectives
From the oversea immersion program, I hope that I can learn to be more independent to prepare myself for the coming national service. I also want to learn more about the country, I am very curious about their cultural, history and their Wu-Shu. I heard that china is the origin of all the Wu-Shu, so I am a bit curious about how they created the Wu-Shu. I am also very curious about their history because I am a fan of the three kingdom history, like how do the Liu Bei fight with Cao Cao, and stuff like this. I also want to know more how the countries work. Lastly, I want to eat the local delicacy and compare it with Singapore local delicacy. I know a bit of the country, I heard that the country is quite dirty and then the food there is a bit salty and oily. Other than that just some history of the three kingdoms and the Great Wall of China, and lastly some Wu-Shu history. My curiosity makes me want to learn more about that country, and I want to gain some cultural intelligence to be able to work in china in the future. I think my learning can aid me in my work, I can either become a tour guide or a businessmen negotiating business with people in china.

2. Focus of Inquiry
I think I will focus everything in the history and the food in china, wuhan. I am very interested in the student life here, I want to know how it works here and compare it with Singapore’s student life. I think there should be a big different. I think getting some working relationship is also very good, maybe next time I might need help from the people here. Maybe my working partner might be any of the china people here, nobody can predict the future, so we must plan it early.

3. Question Of Investigation
What is the three kingdom history all about? Why did Liu Bei die, why did Guan Yu die? and how did the fight began?.
What is the food normally found in Wuhan? I want to taste more food in the china, many said that china food is nice. I think that the food in china represents Chinese, so I must at least try it. I also want to gain more knowledge of the type of food here.
What is the type of races that china have? I heard that china have much different type of Chinese; there is many type of clan in china. They have different type of culture and different practice.

4. Development of global skills
The three global skills that I wanted to learn in my trip are learning business related skills in china, learn to listen to china Chinese and the last one is learn to stay independent.
Learning business related skills in china can help us know about the strategies to doing business and negotiate with people all around the world. China economy is thriving so I think that many people would go china to do business. Take the example that now the economy crisis does not affect china much, however they are still rising in their currency.
Learning to listen to China Chinese can aid us in doing business in china, because china economy is thriving, that why many people will be coming to china and do business. If we don’t learn china Chinese then we would lose out in negotiation, they might say too much and then you cannot catch it, then maybe that part might be the important part. Learning china Chinese can also impress the people in china, they will have good impression of you because you make an effort to learn china Chinese.
Finally, we have to learn to be independent rather then dependent on parents. When we are out of Singapore, we have to take care of ourselves and do all the house chores all by ourselves. Learning independent also allow us to go anywhere without letting out love ones to worry about. I think that learning independent is the most important global skill of all as without learning independent then we cannot go anywhere to learn any of the global skills.


5. Learning strategies
I can learn the stuff by looking around and walking around the place, I can also learn the stuff from the visiting of the historical places. I can also get information from the people there and then read the newspaper. There are a lot of information we can gathered from the school, like the library and lecturers.
